Chapter 162: Nightlife?
Inside Maple Leaf Bar.
Colorful lights wreak havoc around the room, in sync with the dynamic music.
"The so-called 'nice place' you mentioned, is this it?" Fang Yu was utterly speechless.
Xu Zhaopei was even more embarrassed.
She had never been to such a place before, and her impression of it wasn't good. It was chaotic.
"Now that we're here, let's not spoil the mood," Chen Daotian said with a smiley face.
He waved at the waiter and ordered several bottles of liquor.
The three of them found a corner to sit down.
Holding a bottle of beer in his arms, Chen Daotian stared sadly at the group of garishly dressed women constantly shaking their hips.
"Sigh, are all women in Jiangzhou like this? So lacking in class."
"You're just used to high-end places; there's a gap in aesthetics," Fang Yu replied nonchalantly, glancing at some nearby women and said, "Look at that one, her breasts almost bursting out of her clothes, white legs, slim waist, very energetic when shaking it. Are you saying you're not tempted?"
Chen Daotian looked at the scantily clad woman and shook his head: "Brother, compared to sister-in-law, these women are simply… what I mean is, after seeing sister-in-law, all other women seem like trash..."
Fang Yu nodded.
That response was more like it. After all, he felt the same when he first met Ye Wenjun.
Unbelievable that Chen Daotian, this bastard, has high standards.
Chen Daotian, who was naturally handsome, would fool anyone who didn't know him well, not realizing that a big gray wolf lived inside him. Several women had come up to flirt, but he rejected them all.
Xu Zhaopei felt extremely awkward, dissatisfied that the two men ignored her, but what could she do?
At that moment, a slovenly man walked over and whistled:
"Beauty, wanna have a drink together?"
"Scram!" Xu Zhaopei snapped coldly.
The man who came up to flirt was stared down by her and walked away disheartened.
"Sister-in-law, didn't expect you to be quite fierce," Chen Daotian said with a smile.
Xu Zhaopei, hearing Chen Daotian calling her sister-in-law, was touched, but her face remained expressionless: "Do all you men like to flirt like this?"
"Nonsense, we just appreciate from afar. Vulgar moves like that are only done by tasteless people," Chen Daotian explained.
Xu Zhaopei and Fang Yu both glared at him.
"What shall we drink?" Fang Yu asked.
"Cocktail," said Xu Zhaopei, "You guys seem pretty happy today."
Fang Yu turned to Chen Daotian next to him and said, "A friend's here, why wouldn't we be happy? Chen Daotian, didn't you want to drink? What are you waiting for!"
"What's the rush, let's talk about the S-class mission first," Chen Daotian leisurely took a sip and said, "This time the target is a female assassin, ranked number five on the Heavenly List."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu suddenly exclaimed: "Shit, why didn't you say so earlier? Number five on the Heavenly List, that's an SS-class mission for sure!"
"How am I supposed to know? I don't set the levels!" Chen Daotian retorted.
"Are you tricking me? You actually took on an SS-class, right?" Fang Yu glared.
"By the honesty of heaven and earth, if I dare to deceive Brother Yu, may my son be born without a wee-wee!" Chen Daotian held up three fingers.
Seeing his serious expression, and not seeming to lie, Fang Yu then said, "Fifth on the Heavenly List, sounds tricky."
"Brother Yu, with you here, not just number five, even number one is within your reach!"
"Give me a break. Send me this person's information later," Fang Yu nodded.
The two men's conversation did not shy away from Xu Zhaopei at all.
But Xu Zhaopei couldn't understand either, he just nodded along and sipped his cocktail, which wasn't strong enough to get him drunk.
"Come on, let's finish this one!" Fang Yu lifted his glass, and the three of them raised their glasses together and guzzled it down.
Chen Daotian, who often mingled in the world of glamour, had evidently become immune to ordinary women. The women in the dance floor were unbearable, heavily made up like female ghosts.
The three of them kept drinking.
"My sister-in-law sure can hold her liquor." After a long time drinking, Xu Zhaopei's face remained unflushed and his heart calm.
"It's just a matter of practice, nothing worth mentioning." Xu Zhaopei humbly said.
According to Chen Daotian's personality, things weren't supposed to develop like this. Normally, women should adore him, then accompany him to a hotel room to enjoy a wonderful night.
Unexpectedly, right after they met, he was completely suppressed by the imposing Xu Zhaopei.
How could this be?
One must at least show some personal charm.
"This song is so awful. Since we're all happy today, how about I sing a song for you?" Chen Daotian put down his glass and proposed.
"You can sing?" Xu Zhaopei asked with a smile.
"You'll know once you listen." Saying that, Chen Daotian stood up.
Chen Daotian had spent many years abroad, and though behind the scenes he was a member of the Dark Web, he often indulged in the arts, sang songs, and danced when he was free. He claimed it was all for cultivating his demeanor, so disgracefully shameless.
So, Chen Daotian walked over.
The bar was noisy and neither Fang Yu nor Xu Zhaopei could hear what he said to the singer, but then the man passed him the microphone.
"I'm happy today, let me sing an English song for everyone! Friends, don't be shy, let's hear some applause!"
The men in the audience glanced in disdain and did not cooperate. But some women, seeing such a handsome man take the stage, screamed and shouted along.
The music started, and the singing shone out.
Under Chen Daotian's performance, an English song resonated throughout the entire bar, instantly elevating the stage several notches.
After the song ended, the bar became thoroughly lively.
After finishing his song, Chen Daotian walked back to his seat elegantly and squinted, shamelessly asking, "Brother, isn't my singing comparable to an international superstar?"
"It's alright." Fang Yu replied insincerely, "But your posture was too flamboyant, your head looked like it was knotted."
"You don't know anything, that's called personality." Chen Daotian rolled his eyes, inwardly disdainful of his lack of appreciation, but that was all he could say.
Just as he lifted his glass—
Fang Yu said with a smiling face, "Chen Daotian, you didn't invite me here for no simple reason, right?"
Chen Daotian was shocked and said, "No, it's nothing."
"At seven o'clock direction, don't you feel a faint killing intent?" Fang Yu spoke lightly.
"Killing intent? Nonsense, who dares to harbor killing intent against us? I'd piss them awake!" Chen Daotian shouted.
"Stop pretending. I know what you're really planning inside." Fang Yu stated.
Chen Daotian smiled and didn't speak anymore.
He glanced around, then set his eyes on several men in the corner nearby, and said lightly, "Brother Yu, don't say I didn't tell you, there's even stronger killing intent over there!"
Fang Yu picked up his glass, took a sip, and spoke slowly, "I already knew."
At this moment, Xu Zhaopei, who seemed to have drunk too much, said, "I need to use the restroom." He then turned towards the direction of the restroom.
At the same time, Fang Yu finally turned his head towards another corner—
